La historia para mí es un quiero y no puedo. Te enseñan escenas con una brutalidad inmensa,pero cuando llega el momento de la verdad, van y lo censuran... No lo entiendo...
    Para mí esta parte es un 6,y es una pena porque visualmente es una bestialidad. Gameplay genérico y aburrido que copia muchos elementos de the last of us. Además,chirría mucho que te encuentres hogueras encendidas por todo el juego
    Sin nadie cerca que explique que hacen encendidas y en zonas totalmente inhospitas.    … Expand

A gampley é péssima e repetitiva, o jogo muitas vezes te obriga a ser stealth, e caso você falhe nisso é praticamente obrigado a se matar, e isso gera vários momentos toscos. Além disso, a inteligência artificial dos NPCs é horrível, isso acaba atrapalhando mais ainda.

    No fim das contas deve ser um bom jogo, mas o problema é exatamente esse: eu não tenho certeza. Não joguei o primeiro jogo e o segundo não se preocupou em me mostrar nem mesmo um resumo.    … Expand

Terrible frame rate issues on especially Xbox X (not up to what you'd expect) + A strong narrative with great voice acting (sans aforementioned annoying kid) - with gameplay hampered by the same old and trodden mechanics that were part 1's weakness - along a hefty difficulty curve, as was the case in Part 1.

    The gameplay mechanics did not change from the first iteration, in all that's bad and good about them - they are repetitive "escape the rats with casting light on stuff" riddles that become increasingly complex. The graphics are the high part of the second showing, as is the voice acting.

    And yes, Hugo still has the same annoying kid voice as in the first part. Amicia is playing the role of tough strong female and has some new tricks up her sleeve - but many of the old mechanics are regurgitated ad nauseam. You'll find yourself looking desparately for what the devs must have thought obvious places to advance in a room (hint: most of them are not obvious) - voice cues should give hints but some are confusing even more as to what the solution might be.

    That said, it's a strong story with a mystical element as to what the sickness really is - and how to get rid of it and a strong narrative is presented throughout the same stale gameplay mechanics that were making the first part frustrating for many, me included.    … Expand

Next gameplay, it’s still kinda a walking simulator mixed with a stealth combat game, it has a few puzzles you might find hard but personally I beat them all relatively quick. Next story, the story is/will be ESSENTIAL if a third game comes out but I did like the middle of the game more than the beginning or the Finish, the beginning just felt a little boring but that’s ok because once you get passed it the middle is great, the Finish I found to be quite predictable and I was hoping it would end differently because it was to obvious what was going to happen. That is my review for A Plague Tale: Requiem… Expand

    I played the first game, and tried this second game on Game Pass. But I could not get through it: instead of one we now have two whiney main characters. And the combat system is still tedious & frustrating. So this is just not the game for me.

    Game with very good graphics and a terrible optimization, with an engaging story and spectacular setting, improvable body and facial animations, simple mechanics and an AI for children that lags behind as in its first part, IT IS NOT A NEXT GEN GAME.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is one of those games that perfectly takes everything that was good from it's predecessor and made it even better.

The player has more options in combat now, including a stun, a second chance to run away after being hit, a crossbow, a stab attack, and a more reliable get out of jail free item for escaping rats. All of these things feel natural, are easy to execute, and are fun. The stealth is also better with larger environments that have multiple pathways for you to weave through areas, and subtle upgrades to your speed and throwing distance. The upgrade system for sneaking, fighting, and alchemy are very useful and passively implemented based on how you play. Most importantly the story and characters are upgraded. Amicia and Hugo's journey goes through some incredible ups and downs (mostly downs), that just build and build in such a gradual crescendo over time that you really really feel the ending. You can't play this game and not feel something. And the side characters introduced here are much deeper and integrated into the plot better than the first game as well.

    If I had to criticize one thing about the game I think I would say some of the sound mixing on the voices was a little weird. Characters such as soldiers often have their voices filtered to sound like they're speaking through metal helmets, even when they're not actually wearing helmets. It's just a little weird but it's not huge.

    Overall it's just such a good game, any fan of single player adventure games would enjoy this.    … Expand

    Great graphics and sound but other than that it’s exactly the same as the first one but longer. I loved the innocence ‘cause it was a fresh and amazing video game. But requiem it’s just a copy and paste with some “new” additions here and there.

Also, seeing the same enemy faces throughout half of the game was very irritating. It felt like there were only 5 enemy models. Furthermore, there were bugs, like when your brother (your partner) got stuck in a texture and you couldn't move forward. The implementation of the game theme was very poor, with minimal variety.… Expand

    This second part of A Plaques Tale shows that it is better to close the book for good. There will undoubtedly be a third part, but is that really necessary?

It is wonderful to see how the views come to life through the realistic world building. At the same time, it doesn't do anything new in terms of gameplay. If you played part 1, you have also played part two. You can expect some minor tweaks but it's no more than that. Then one thing remains; the story. It feels like a hit or miss. For me personally it was an absolute disaster. None of the emotional bond between siblings came through due to the terrible voice acting, poor lip-sync and unrealistic approach to the conclusion. It's all a bit too far fetched and overdone. Hugo is the personification of this game. He feels more like a burden than the brother you want to give everything for. Maybe literally because you have to hold his hand and comfort him the whole game long. For now it's finally time to let go.

    Pros:
    - Enviromental design and graphics

    Cons:
    - Voice acting
    - Minor additions in gameplay mechanics

    Hand holding yawn simulator. Imagine tomb raider... without the action.. with a kid constantly yapping on.. with puzzles that a cat scratching at your controller could solve.. Then bring the kid back who constantly stands in your way, as if the interaction buttons aren't bad enough to line up with.

    This last gen looking game is a snoozefest.

    first, the game didnt need a sequel as the first part was not that good to begin with! walking around with a child and a mediocre sling is not fun! hiding and stealthing is also not fun! this is not a game, this is a movie, good visuals with bad framerate lol....
    to sum up this movie lacks gameplay and technical performance... i gave it 2 for there effort on visuals.

    Combine greedy publisher and lazy developers and puff, you'll get A Plague Tale: Requiem. Defective game with terrible optimization and no 60fps mode, as this would require from devs more time to make and make necessary optimizations. Console versions of APT:R is spitting in the faces of consumers and telling us it's raining.

    RDR2 still looks far better and it has open world + better optimization. The same with Horizon Forbidden West, Miles Morales etc. Game is unoptimized crap. Even on my RTX 3080 it can't run stable 60fps at 1440p lol. 30fps for Series X and PS5 at 1440p is a big joker.

    Un jeu par ailleurs trop long, qui n’en finit pas de s’étaler même s’il tente de varier ce qu’il propose avec plus ou moins d’à-propos et/ou de maladresses… Les dialogues sont consternants de nullité, presque aussi nuls que l’espèce d’histoire, de pseudo-scénario fatigué qu’Asobo tente de nous refourguer ! Le doublage est à côté de la plaque, constamment exagéré et surjoué, c’est franchement pénible. Sans parler de cette psychologie de comptoir des personnages…

    L’infiltration est claquée au sol, de même que les combats lourdingues comme c’est pas permis ; de manière générale, les scripts incessants rendent ce jeu-couloir très pénible à jouer. Il faut toujours suivre la façon et le chemin prévu sinon ça ne fonctionne pas… comme prévu (‘recommencer la section’).

    Pour résumer, il s’agit d’un mauvais jeu d’infiltration, d’un mauvais jeu d’action et d’une histoire qui se perd en cours de route et dont la conclusion nous prend pour des jambons (quelle fin de merde et quel épilogue… de merde !).

    Si le jeu est certes beau, il ne tourne qu’à 30 im/s sur Series X (!) et reste victime de ralentissements. Mais il a beau essayer d’en mettre plein la vue, nous ne sommes pas dupe : ce n’est que poudre aux yeux et pure prétention de développeurs prétentieux ! un échec et une déception de taille donc pour un jeu très pénible du début à la fin.

    А теперь по порядку. Полное отсутствие оптимизации как таковой. Вечно залипающие текстурки героев. Непомерно огромные хитбоксы стен в которые врезается моделька персонажа. Просадки ниже 20 FPS. Худшего дер**а в своей жизни ни разу на компьютер не ставил. То что данная игра это тотальная недоработка и кошмар, это еще слабо сказанно.
    Если разработчики так сильно хотят денег за эту игру, то единственное желание это дать их игре место на торрентах, дабы они не заработали ни копейки и наконец-то поняли, что быть заднеприводным уродом это не значит что все покупающие вашу игру такие же.
    Звук который заикается и глючит каждый раз когда на экране появляются хвалёные толпы крыс. А иногда звук глючит и просто так. Качество текстур оставляет желать лучшего. Отсутствие FSR (хотя бы версию 1.0 дали бы, но нет). Даже на высоком уровне графики текстуры превращаются в мыло.
    Стелс миссии. Ммм, просто блаженство. Ты можешь бежать через всю локацию с Гуго и никто тебя не убьёт, особенно если проигрывается анимация открывания дверей.
    Растягивание сюжета, сотнями разговоров и медленной ходьбы, надоедают уже через 15-20 минут.
    Вначале игры говорится о том что надо бежать, Гуго плохо и его надо лечить, но нет "А пройдёмся ка мы по полю и пособираем перья, а?"
    Отвратительное построение сюжетной линии лишь усугубляет и без того шаткое положение игры, из-за отвратительной графики и отсутствия оптимизации.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem develops the strengths of the first chapter to the full, to create a cinematically cut, emotionally charged adventure with satisfying stealth mechanics, action, puzzles, memorable characters, heart-pounding sequences and lots and lots of rats.

    Sequels are hard. Team Asobo has managed to make a more compelling world with even more compelling characters and wrapped it in a gorgeous bow. There are issues for sure. The game doesn’t innovate nearly enough and performance on next-gen consoles is disappointing, but this game continues to prove that this team of developers is extremely talented. I hope we continue to see them flourish and create new experiences. A Plague Tale: Requiem is a truly exceptional experience that everyone should check out. It is on Game Pass so the barrier to entry is lighter. Definitely give it a shot.

    No game is perfect, but A Plague Tale: Requiem is everything I could have asked for in a sequel. It refines and improves on all of the issues I had with Innocence, creating a game that doesn’t feel all that different, but simply feels far better. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the team at Asobo Studio evolved it instead, making a far better version of an already good game with a refined version of the same formula. Anyone who remotely enjoyed the original needs to check it out.
